Welcome to Gaia! ::

"RETREAT TO WHERE??" Cass shouted over the madness to the boss-man. Boss man was definitely much better to listen to now that she had that option. But ********, they couldn't do their normal blip-to-god-knows-where retreat they normally did, and... s**t, the thing was coming!

FIRE ZE MI- F:Lskd;hfafdk


Cass suddenly bursted into swears as the beast ran by, her teeth digging into the hunter's flesh before moving on. Cass grabbed her shoulder and cried out, before stumbling back. Nicodemus still cried out in her head and she could feel the very senses that pushed at the inside of her head starting to reach their limit. None of them would last very long at this rate. They would all perish. And it sounded as though what would happen wouldn't be pleasant.


She didn't want to be a part of that.

<> Cass pleaded into her head, before the zombie she'd been doing battle with earlier started to yell as well. Something about targetting the legs. The rebellious part of Cass wanted to ignore the orders, but...


The part of her that wanted to live said she'd probably be worse off if she didn't do anything at all....

Cass's HP: 28-2 = 26

As the beast stomped past her, Ariane found her world fading to grey literally and the suddenness of it disorientated her; while her swings were normally filled with strength, the swing she attempted to hit the passing monster's legs with was rather pathetic. She frowned, shaking her head like it would help get her vision back to normal; when she realized that it would not, she scowled.

This place just gets from bad to worse.

HP: 36/40
Damage: 1 [Targeting Red's legs!]

If the creature was looking to take revenge on the man... Levi found it difficult to find a reason to attack it. Having another form, she considered some of the movements and attacks as possibly just a really pissed of critters rampaging about- but not a planned assault necessarily.

A clear moment of thought - a blank - set in. The boil still wasn't showing himself. Abandoning her suspicions that he could be simply trying to trick her in some way, the truth was becoming strongly apparent. He wasn't coming back.

Levi leered at the creature with the glowing eyes and markings now, downright seething with rage. Fighting and combat were all well and good, but she'd never consider killing the boil. That was a line she wasn't willing to cross. He'd died by the attack of their once-professor just after helping the tatzel out of her entanglement in that confounded net. She did feel she owed him; the white-haired ghoul wouldn't back out of a promise or a challenge. This would be a move to rise to both.

As always, it was a rule of thumb that the bigger opponents needed to be first brought down to a more suitable size. Considering her options briefly, it was a clear choice to knock down those legs first. Bring the beast to its knees and the rest isn't that far from reach anymore. Baring her teeth with a hiss, Levi darted back into the field to get a closer advantage point on the creature and its large limbs. Well, she could risk getting closer but... that didn't seem like a practical idea given the mass of it. She would be in prime stomping ground in that case; instead she looked around for a suitable projectile.

A stone? Crouching over a medium-sized rock, her tail and arms wound around the deeply dug piece of earth, pulling it out of place. With a heavily vented hiss, she maneuvered the rock over her head and threw as far as she could. The stone smashed in a spot behind one of BigRed's Legs.

Leon would admit it, it was big. like BIG BIG, but it was also slow as molasses.

It didn't take long for the Fit athlete to catch up to the monster and its trek through the area, tail slowly tagging and smacking into living things all over the place. "Hey you, stop running away you coward." he yelled out boldly to the beast before jumping at the tail and hacking small sections away.

Tastes kinda funny, like on the verge of spoiling.

He really didn't need to know about Nid's tasting sessions. "Save it, this isn't top chef ya glutton." he scolded back harshly while ducking under the tail that tried yet again to sweep them all away.

isn't what? you speak of such weird things meathead.

"Arrgh" he didn't even know why he bothered talking to his partner in his brain sometimes. "hey look, giant freaky killer thing again, lets get back in the madness huh? he said attempting to reason with the hungry dragon and cut the quarreling short.

Lead they way, not like I can move on my own.

And with that settled, he ducked away from yet another tail swipe and went off to where Cass was thankfully not far away. "hey how's the shooting going?"

Mot heard buzzing, ringing, humming. No sound was distinguishable, though. It all melded together as his head pounded with pain. He was aware something, or somethings had landed on top of him. However, he was reeling so hard he couldn't bring himself to open his eyes to look.

What he was aware of, was someone forcing him to swallow something. The pumpkin pill was shoved in his mouth, causing the boil to make a sound resembling some kind of muffled croak.
Despite it, he swallowed the pill, recognizing it's texture from the last time he had one. Soon, his pain and fatigue began to fade away. The reaper's eyes flickered open, staring up at Tess.

Tess had saved him? "Tess..?" Mot blinked, then realizing the weight on him happened to be Lizzy and Vieve. Why were they...
Rather than get himself worked up over having two ghouls piled on top of him, the reaper tried to work his way out from under them. "Lizzy! Vieve! Are you two okay?!"

Mot's HP: 3 + Pumpkin Pill = 30

"I was looking......" she whispered, her voice cracking Amrita's hold, "I couldn't attack her.....I was trying to find anything...any sign I could do something......"

I could have done something...if someone had helped me. If I'd been stronger. But nobody wanted to hear me out and I'm too weak.

I was the only one who wanted to try anything else.


I don't want to die..... but it isn't fair... it isn't fair... I don't want anybody to die for me.

((Junko post!))

This really was insanity. Red...this wasn't Red. She didn't want to believe it was Red, there was just no way Red would take them on this trip telling them it was to better themselves against something like this and then just...

No. Red was dead. This was not Red, it was an abomination that needed to be destroyed. Junko whimpered and rubbed at her eyes, trying to regain some composure so she wasn't just a crying mess over the very notion of having to...kill someone they had..once known. This wasn't Red. This wasn't Red. This. Wasn't. Red. Red died already...this thing was just...

...coming right at her oh s**t! Junko's eyes widened nd she tried to jump out of the way of the trampling beast only to be kicked by one of her feet, sending her flying until she hit the ground with a paine cry. She saw Shehk over inthe distance and she frowned. "Shehk..! Get yourself together!" she coughed, rolling onto her hands and knees. It hurt. It hurt so bad. She wanted to go home now. She wanted this all to have just been one big nightmare. ********. Her pumpkin pill fell from where it had been tucked into her obi and she snatched it up and stuffed it in her mouth, swallowing it with a great amount of guilt. She had promised herself she wouldn't need it.

When she opened her eyes again Everything was wrong. So very, very wrong...where had all the color gone?!

HP: 15 - 5 = 10 + pumpkin pill = 40
